Nola and Charles both own party planning firms in the small town of Trident, IA. Because they are the only party planners in tow
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Nola and Charles Collusion at Trident, IA.

Helping or Impeding Scenarios:

Helping Scenarios:

4. Nola and Charles are regulars at the same coffee house. They talk regularly

5. Charles and Nola both charge a fixed per person price for a party

Impeding Scenarios:

1. Charles develops a signature appetizer that becomes the must have in Trident

2. A party planning school opens and the new graduates are ready to plan!

3. Nola lowers her price on national television

6. Nola's marginal cost is lower than Charles's.

7. Most of the parties are given by Trident's largest employer, a water bottling plant.

Explanation:

Nola and Charles can only enter a collusion agreement secretly because it is illegal.  Since the agreement is secret, it is not enforceable in the court of law.  The tendency for Nola and Charles to be entangled in the prisoner's dilemma is very high.  It is also not possible for them to protect their collusion for very long because they have different cost bases and core competencies that derail collusion on a sustainable large scale.  Graduates of party organization and other market participants, including the large firm that hosts most of the parties in the area will end the collusion before long.

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

His annual rate of return on this sculpture is -4.46%.

Explanation:

let PV be the amount invested and after t periods it turns to be FV

FV = PV(1+r)^t

(1+r)^t = FV/PV

1 + r = (FV/PV)^(1/t)

r = (FV/PV)^(1/t) - 1

t is the number of years from 1999 to 2003, t = 2003 - 1999 = 4 years

FV = $10,311,500

PV = $12,377,500

  r = ($10,311,500/$12,377,500)^(1/4) - 1

  r = -0.0446

therefore, His annual rate of return on this sculpture is -4.46%.

You have been hired to advise on economic policy by the Government of Backwardistan, a poor country run by a benevolent monarch.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation.

Explanation:

The concept of people's social and economic wellbeing has changed rapidly in today's highly dynamic and sophisticated world.So if the queen really wants to make improvements,she has to understand certain factors which are very crucial for the wellbeing of the people and the growth and development of the nation.Initially the need and wants of the small numbers of people were limited,the economy was highly centralised and self sufficient and barter system of exchange was practised but with the passage of time,today the population has increased,the world has been converted into a global village.And if the dynastic approach of the queen continues,the country will remain segregated and as its name suggests it will remain backwardistan forever.In order to achieve her desired goal,she needs to improve her misconceptions and adapt itself as per the changing trends in the world economy.The 3 immediate she needs to take urgently are as follows:-

Open economy-The very first thing she has to do is coverting her economy from closed to an open economy.It means that she needs to promote trade among countries around the world i.e.cross border trade needs to be carried out.This can be done through following a policy of Liberalisation,privatisation and Globalisation.Liberalisation means freeing the economy of the country from unnecessary controls and removing hindrances and trade barriers.Privatisation means the govt. of that country needs to disinvest its funds from areas which are less crucial with certain necessary regulations and allow the private sector to invest in such areas.Globalisation means connecting/integrating the country with the outer world.

Promote internet usage and its access:-No doubt internet has certain drawbacks and negative aspects too but they are not a cause of much concern.We can deal with such issues very comfortably,if we are aware,active and cautious with certain regulations on its issues.Solutions to such problems can be found.Internet has proved itself to be one of the most powerful tool in the current scenario that plays a very significant role in the growth of the society and improving people's being.This step can prove to be a milestone and masterstroke in the history of the country.unnecessary control over internet should be removed and its easy and equal access to all should be ensured with control.

Major and minor policy changes:-As she is taking a transformative step,no doubt there would be challenges to cope up,but she needs to bring all major and minor policy changes wherever required to achieve the above mentioned goals.She needs to create awareness among the general public make them comfortable with these changes and its positive impacts.

The above mentioned changes can bring out miraculous changes in the economy.In today's world,in order to grow a country needs capital,raw materials,latest technology and innovative ideas.No doubt,the country has abundant natural resources but they are not being utilised most effectively,efficiently to maximise the people's wellbeing.With liberalisation,there would be cross border trade that will provide best quality of goods and services at a much cheaper rates to its people.Availability of more goods and services to the people cheaply is bound to make positive changes in the lives of the people.With privatisation,she can use her funds in more crucial areas rather than investing them in less important areas.Globalisation can lead to exchange of people,ideas and technology and much more.These steps can bring foreign investment in the country more capital and latest technology would be brought alongwith them it will ensure best utilisation of its resources.People would get more earning opportunities,thus more income and improving there life.The people and businesses can invest and work abroad to bring remittances to the country.And still there are much benefits.

No doubt there would be some problems in the economy with internal traders and businesses facing difficulties but at the same time this would force them to adapt themselves as per the world scenario taking them to newer heights.The people of that country would be most benefitted with wider choices at cheaper costs.

Internet is something which brings the whole world on our screen with a single click of a button.This can prove to be boon in bringing above changes in the society and can bring miraculous changes in the lives of the people.It can smoothen and strengthen the administration and make easy access of public to the services and much much more.

The Queen is not doing her best for her subjects with the current policies ,so she needs to keep her preconceptions aside and make the above mentioned changes.

sammy [17]

Explanation:

Given Data:

Cost of machine=$28,000

Tax=$125

Fees=$200

Shipping charges=$500

Paid to contractor to build and wire a platform for the machine=$475

Salvage value=$3000

Useful life = 6 years

Required:

Depreciation base of Cominsky's new machine=?

Solution:

Deprecation base=Acquisition Cost-Salvage Value

Acquisition Cost:

It is the cost which involves the buying of asset and making the asset to work. In our case:

Acquisition Cost=Cost of machine+Tax+Fees+Shipping charges+Paid to contractor to build and wire a platform for the machine

Acquisition Cost=$28,000+$125+$200+$500+$475

Acquisition Cost=$29300

Deprecation base=Acquisition Cost-Salvage Value

Deprecation base=$29300-$3000

Deprecation base=$26,300

Doss [256]

Answer:

E) Select at random 50 apartments from all the apartments in the 10 buildings.

Explanation:

Unbiased sampling is when each element has an equal chance of getting picked out of a sample population.
